ESPN's Britt McHenry is Not Nice....

[Dick Whitman]

The towing company may have deserved anger directed at its practices.

It did not deserve anger directed at the cashier's teeth, weight, education, etc.

Just no excuse for that.

That's where I come in. I've been plenty pissed off in my time about plenty of things, and had easy targets I could have lit up like she did.

We all do. But we all don't go straight for the jugular with the viciousness like she did, at superficial slams aimed at someone who is likely a minimum-wage minion who had zero to do with how she was wronged. The (seeming) ease with how she got as ugly as she did and how quickly she got there is very telling to me.

Like has been said, there's no way this is her first rodeo when it comes to shredding people she feels are beneath her.

Can't we have more than one asshole?

An asshole employer does not make it OK to maliciously taunt and abuse the single mom working as a clerk there.

She's obviously a Costanza.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.

So now WE'RE going to make fun of her?

In the great majority of cases, the people towing the cars are the assholes. They deserve a little assholery directed back at them.

In the towing industry (towing parked cars, not breakdowns) the business model is "the bigger an asshole you are, the more money you make."

Doesn't matter. There is no reason for one human to treat another that way.

So Gina deserved to be big-timed here.

You're smarter than that, I think.

Never said there was. She has nothing to do with towing or the decision to tow the car. She's actually the person you deal with to get the good result of getting your car back.

Gina deserved nothing of the sort. I was just making a general comment about the towing "industry." As I said to three bags full, there's absolutely no reason to treat someone the way Gina was treated by McHenry. Gina is the person at that place that's actually helping you get your car back. The bad part has already happened. Gina is the one helping you rectify the situation.

Another thing I wonder about is this: I'm under the impression Gina works for a private towing company. Where I live, cars are towed to a city lot, and the people you deal with to get your car back are city employees.

People on this board make fun of other people? You're kidding me.

You're defending making fun of some minimum wage single mom for her looks?

Come on, man.
